Les visiteurs du soir: The Criterion Collection
Please Note: The images used here are taken from promotional materials and stills provided by The Criterion Collection, not the Blu-ray edition under review.
With such films as Le Jour se lève, Port of Shadows, and Les Enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise) studding his rich filmography, French director Marcel Carné proved himself time and time again to be master and perhaps (after Jean Renoir) the principal emissary of the particular "poetic realist" style that a confluence of production circumstances and talent brought out of France in the '30s. Now, Criterion has blessedly brought a somewhat less internationally well-known Carné film, Les visiteurs du soir (The Devil's Envoys in the English translation, but more literally The Nighttime Visitors), to a wider home-video audience, and none too soon: This long ago and far away tale of a planned royal betrothal disrupted by the envoys of the title, with all of the ensuing complications, stands right alongside Carné's other great films as a highly atmospheric, inexpressibly lovely picture, a story told with gentle seriousness (and not a little humor), and through a wider variety of stunning cinematic techniques than in any of his other most famous films (in addition to his usual unerring sense of composition and lighting). It doesn't quite threaten Children of Paradise's status as his magnum opus, but it does live up to (and, in some particular and breathtaking ways, even expand upon) Carné's other accomplished, beloved works.
Visually and narratively, the film starts off as clearly a fairytale, and it never breaks the spell. When Gilles (Alain Cuny, The Lovers, The Milky Way) and Dominique ("Arletty," famed chanteuse/star of stage and screen, and frequent Carné and Sacha Guitry collaborator) -- two mysterious minstrels with old-style guitars slung across their backs who've been summoned by the baron Hugues (Fernand Ledoux, La Bête humaine) as entertainment for the engagement festivities of his daughter, Anne (Marie Déa, Orpheus) and her husband-to-be, Renaud (Marcel Herrand, Fanfan la tulipe) -- trot up on horseback to the baron's castle, before the drawbridge has even come down, they're already revealing that they're not all they seem by resurrecting a peasant's pet bear, which, he has mournfully told them, has been cruelly shot dead by the aristocrats reveling within. They may be the devil's envoys, each of whom we can infer has some sort of Faustian bargain in their past that they're doomed to pay off for eternity, but this opening act of kindness calls into question whether either of them are really as malevolent as would suit their master. Inside, Anne sits between her widowed, lonely father and her anti-romantic fiancé (who later actually forbids her from dreaming) as the nonstop amusements take place before the idle, feasting aristocrats. She's the only one not jaded enough to laugh and jeer when three little people have hoods removed from their heads to reveal deformed faces; she turns away from the exploitation, the first in many demonstrations of her sensitive, innocent purity. (These little people are the only ones who know from the beginning what Gilles and Dominique are, playfully teasing them and seemingly immune to their spells; if the medieval setting as a way to contemplate long-running philosophical and moral matters links this movie to Bergman's films via The Seventh Seal, these mysticized dwarves recall the troupe of little entertainers in The Silence.)
Anne's purity is recognized by Gilles, the less pragmatic and more susceptible to human feeling of the minstrel duo, whose eyes meet hers as he intones his ballad -- the beginning of a deep, true love between them that will cause all kinds of trouble and disrupt the prescribed amorous balance of the castle. (The film's chansons, written by screenwriter Jacques Prévert and Joseph Kosma, sound quite anachronistic to my ears -- i.e., not "true" medieval balladry -- but they're so moving and perfectly in keeping with the film's bittersweet, longing tone that it scarcely matters.) The witheringly pragmatic Dominique, who appears first as a boy (because of her dress) but unveils herself as a woman at the proper time, tries to keep the head-over-heels Gilles on the devil's path, reminding him that they're there to sow heartbreak, discontent, cynicism, and violence among these foolish mortals, not to go native and succumb to their naïve and mushy ways. She's doing her part for their nefarious mission by wooing Renaud away from Anne while at the same time promising Anne's desolate, world-weary father, who has a shrine to her late mother at which he worships nightly, an elusive cure for his loneliness in the form of her youthful, fresh femininity; the plan is to leave them both heartbroken and murderously jealous of one another. Gilles, however, drawn to the soft light of Anne's inner and outer beauty, strays far enough from the path that the boss himself shows up, on a suddenly dark and stormy night, to set things right. The version of Satan we get here (played with reptilian joviality by Jules Berry, Renoir's The Crime of Monsieur Lange) is one that's much more Devil and Daniel Webster than Exorcist, but he's still nasty and cruel, intolerant of peace and happiness, and unrelenting in his demands that Gilles keep to his bargain and that everyone suffer and be thoroughly disillusioned with love. Still, though he does his pernicious best to trick, coerce, and cajole everyone involved (one's heart stops when the naïve Anne has to try to make a deal with the devil, potentially dooming herself and sacrificing everything for her love), we feel he couldn't possibly triumph in the end, not against a love as surpassing as that between Gilles and Anne. He doesn't, but to call the film's end "happy" would be both an over- and understatement, since Gilles and Anne's ultimate fate is at once beautiful and terrible, making for a wholly lyrical denouement to a film that's as delicate and moving as virtually anything that's ever graced the silver screen.
Cuny and Déa do have beautiful chemistry, and as anyone knows who has seen his multiple other collaborations with Carné (the pinnacle being Children of Paradise), Prévert writes scenarios and dialogue that are full to bursting with emotion one can say is truly poeticized (Prévert is at least as well known to francophones as an actual poet as for his film work, and has long been France's permanent de facto poet laureate), but it's not just through the tender interactions between Anne and Gilles that we sense the blissful rightness of their being together or the sense that their made-in-heaven love can survive the opposition of Devil himself. It's there in the gorgeous mise-en-scène created by Carné and his frequent cinematographer Roger Hubert -- "poetic realism" is in the composition and lighting, and when we see the shadows of leaves, trees, and flowers cast by sunlight over the meadow and onto the lovers as they promenade near a fountain, talk earnestly and passionately, and lie in the grass, it's not just the words and body language but a sensual signal emanating from the entire image that tells us they belong together; it's a fact we drink in with our eyes and ears. The same extremely fine, chiaroscuro-imbued sense of shadow and light makes every scene just about as visually splendiferous and evocative as that one, yet it's always apt and in service of the scenario, without ever degenerating to the merely ornamental.
One element that distinguishes Les visiteurs du soir even from Carné/Prévert/Hubert's other collaborations is that here, they go beyond the poetic and well into the magical, using the supernatural threads available in the story to present us with some shimmeringly fantastical special effects; it's no surprise that Jean Cocteau was a friend of Carné's or that he was initially meant to collaborate on the project that become Les visiteurs du soir, since the film has the best of both the more strictly realist-atmospheric world of Carné films like Port of Shadows and Le Jour se lève and the brilliant cinematographic trompe-l'œil exemplified in Cocteau's artifice-reveling forays Beauty and the Beast and Orpheus. When Gilles and Dominique use their powers to make time stand still for everyone other than themselves and those whose hearts they are meant to ensnare (and, of course, the impervious little people), the film deploys magnificent slow-motion and exhilaratingly skillful trick photography to visually render the slowing and stopping of time. Elsewhere, when the Devil smashes a vase to the ground, it becomes a slithering clutch of serpents; and when he decides to taunt Gilles and Anne with the image of her father and her betrothed locked in a deadly duel, he shows it to them in the fountain, transforming the clear, rippling surface into an entrancing screen-within-the-screen. Tying it all together, the luxuriant pacing and additional "poetic" layer provided by editor Henri Rust's (The Wages of Fear) supple, instinctively perceptive montage makes the film's images themselves move like those two wandering lovers through the meadow -- blissfully relaxed, in no great hurry, but absolutely captivating. The film never feels heavy or dark, aiming instead for seamless ebbs and flows of tone that range seamlessly across the scale from the fantastical to the near-satirical to the storybook-romantic to the contemplatively philosophical -- but by the end (which has the best, most unexpected visual effect of all -- relatively simple but deeply affecting), it's accumulated an urgency, a tremendous gravity and significance that belie its lightness of touch. No less than The Seventh Seal or The Passion of Joan of Arc do in their own ways, it's a film that achieves something like mythological status, so that we take the lives, loves, and fates of its obviously invented, even archetypal characters very personally regardless, because they touch something close to elemental -- something that anyone living at any time, so long as they have open eyes and a working heart, can recognize and be moved by.
An AVC/MPEG4-encoded, 1080p-mastered transfer presents the film (at its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1) after an extensive restoration, and it appears here with an excellently retained amount of cinematic grain that, while always vital, is here truly indispensable. The film's full texture, in combination with the beautifully preserved range of darks and lights rendered in such a lovely way by cinematographer Roger Hubert, has obviously been rendered as conscientiously as possible for digital presentation by people who care and know what they're doing. There are multiple but very minor signs of print wear (some flicker, debris, and some rare light scratches), but they're utterly forgivable and never a real distraction; the film is amazing-looking, and that amazement has been done its due for this Blu-ray edition.
The uncompressed PCM monaural soundtrack brings us the original mono sound (in French, with optional English subtitles) in quite good condition. There are a few stretches of background hiss that never even comes close to overriding other sounds (I noticed these during dialogue scenes, and while noticeable, it was unobtrusive), but the aural layer of the film is mostly very nicely cleaned up, clear and resonant; music and sound effects are rich and crisp (background sounds of tweeting birds and burbling water during certain scenes, and a vital heartbeat sound effect near the conclusion, are very immediate and sonorous). Considering the film's vintage and the degree of restoration likely required, the audio quality is very good here.
--"L'aventure des visiteurs du soir," an approximately 40-minute program from 2009 in which writer and Carné friend Didier Decoin, archivist Andrew Heinreich, film historian Alain Petit, and journalist Philippe Morisson each contribute to piecing together a fairly thoroughgoing history of how the film came to be. (The on-and-off involvement of Jean Cocteau during the planning phases, as noted above, seems perfectly in keeping with the project Carné eventually was able to make, as does the initial idea to adapt Perrault's Puss in Boots in a medieval setting before dropping that in favor of what would become Les visiteurs du soir). The making of the film in both occupied France and the southern "free zone" during WWII, and the sticky, tricky business of pulling in and out of cooperation with German occupiers on one side and the resistant screenwriter Prévert and Jewish creative collaborators on the other, made for a complicated and difficult preparation and shoot, indeed, and a fascinating story is thus recounted here.
--The sleeve and 20-page booklet insert feature set designer Alexandre Trauner's very fetching drawings (made as an aid in planning Les visiteurs du soir), which couldn't any better embody the spirit of the film. The booklet also contains an essay by critic and novelist Michael Atkinson outlining the film's merits and placing it in its historical context of the Nazi occupation of France.
--The film's suitably excitable original theatrical trailer.
A work of overwhelming sentiment (never sentimentality) and sheer visual poetry, Les visiteurs du soir (The Devil's Envoys) comes awfully close to rivaling director Marcel Carné's deservedly most famous work, Les Enfants du paradis, for sublimity. A fairy-tale that meditates with unexpected, subtle profundity upon the meanings, essence, and complications of love, the film takes us back to 15th-century France and the romantic destinies of several couples, both meant to be and not meant to be, with the Devil himself, having sent two wayward emissaries (Alain Cuny and Arletty), finally showing up to pull the strings and set everything on his heartbreak-and-despondency-bound course. Love's triumph doesn't come easily (and the final, emotionally statuesque event and image exudes, at once, triumph and tragedy), but the film's true-hearted lovers (and we) are pulling for it, hearts in mouths, throughout. The beauty and elegance of the film's astonishingly delicate, complex visuals -- which use light and shadow and wonderfully well-integrated special effects to exquisitely render, by turns, the supernatural, the Romantic, the gothically grotesque, and the pastoral -- really do have to be seen to be believed. This is a multilayered movie for the ages, one that's simple enough to be grasped intuitively even by a fairly young child but profound, astute, and thoughtful enough to affect that same child in unimagined ways 10, 20, or 30 years later. Whether too young to have yet experienced romantic love, happily in or lonesomely out of love, or at a point where one has a history of love(s) to joyfully, sorrowfully contemplate, Les visiteurs du soir has a magical, illuminating light to shine on most any viewer. Highly Recommended.

Committed to Fairness and Equity in Testing
ETS is committed to ensuring that our tests and other products are of the highest quality and as free of bias as possible.
All of our products and services — including individual test questions, assessments, instructional materials and publications — are formally evaluated during development to help ensure that they:
- are not offensive or controversial
- do not reinforce stereotypical views of any group
- are free of racial, ethnic, gender, socioeconomic and other forms of bias
- are free of content believed to be inappropriate or derogatory toward any group
Formal Review Processes and Guidelines
The ETS Office of Professional Standards Compliance performs audits of all ETS tests to help ensure that they meet the exacting criteria of the ETS Standards for Quality and Fairness. These standards reflect our commitment to produce fair, valid and reliable tests.
The ETS fairness guidelines are set forth and detailed in eight publications:
A Validity Framework for the Use and Development of Exported Assessments
Tests developed solely for domestic populations are increasingly being used by more diverse, international populations. This trend in the rise of assessment exportation necessitates ensuring a bias-free experience for international test takers. In keeping with its commitment to equity in testing, ETS examines potential challenges for multiple populations (international) and identifies best practices for them with respect to opportunity to learn, curricular knowledge, and social or cultural differences. In ensuring a high-quality testing experience, ETS provides guidelines for test development, adaptation and test utilization to ensure validity and fairness for the multiple populations to whom an assessment is exported.
Constructed-response Guidelines
These guidelines are designed to assist staff in accumulating validity evidence for developing and scoring constructed-response and other performance assessments. They supplement the ETS Standards for Quality and Fairness by identifying standards that relate specifically to performance assessments and by offering guidance in interpreting and meeting those standards.
ETS Guidelines for Fair Tests and Communications
The ETS Guidelines for Fair Tests and Communications identifies aspects of test questions that might hinder people in various groups from performing at optimal levels and helps enhance the overall effectiveness of communications. Fairness reviews are conducted by specially trained reviewers.
ETS International Principles for Fairness Review of Assessments
The International Principles for Fairness Review of Assessments are designed to ensure that our tests and related products are fair and appropriate for the culture and country in which they are used.
Guidelines for the Assessment of English Language Learners
Guidelines for the Assessment of English Language Learners was designed for test developers, testing program administrators, psychometricians and educational agencies. These guidelines were developed to ensure that assessments are fair and valid for English language learners. They focus on large-scale content area assessments administered in the United States to students in grades K–12. Many of these principles can also be applied to other populations and assessments.
Guidelines for the Assessment of English Language Learners — helping ensure fairness and validity in assessment (Flash)
In this video, ETS experts discuss the rapidly growing population of English language learners in the United States, and the rationale behind the guidelines that have been created.
Guidelines for Best Test Development Practices to Ensure Validity and Fairness for International English Language Proficiency Assessments
These guidelines focus on the recommended best practices for the development of English-language proficiency assessments taken by international test-taker populations. The diversity of the global English-learner population in terms of language-learning backgrounds, purposes and motivations for learning, and cultural background, among other factors, represents challenges to test developers. This publication recognizes these and other issues related to assessing international English learners and proposes guidelines for test development to ensure validity and fairness in the assessment process.
How ETS Works to Improve Test Accessibility
How ETS Works to Improve Test Accessibility describes to various stakeholders the work done at ETS to enhance the accessibility of our assessments and related products. It provides practical guidance about how, given their constructs, assessments can be made as accessible as possible to most test takers, including those with disabilities who do not need alternate test formats (ATFs). The document also describes how questions and assessments can be made more amenable to adaptation as ATFs.
Note: This file is also available as an accessible electronic document.
Every member of the ETS staff responsible for writing and reviewing test questions undergoes extensive training in our fairness review process. Our commitment to fairness helps distinguish ETS from other assessment companies.

I've just gotta say, I love your art style but that Carterina.... *shudders*
Yes! MikexSandy shipped! YOU. ARE. AMAZING. -Tsukaiz
Carterina loves Luke
Cute but methinks SandyxMike won't work out... If she's so rich why doesn't she visit him or at least have him move to her?
I don't get it
If you like a crack pairing so much, why is the sweetest BCB picture you can think of one involving Mike and Lucy?
Anyway, you have a good art style, but I don't agree with your pairing at all.
Cute style, you like Mike and Daisy, and are a MikexSandy shipper (oh yeah #5)?
Yeah, amazing.
@basketcase: LOL, SORRY. I DON'T REALLY CARE FOR ANYTHING SANDY HAS- I JUST THINK MIKE/SANDY IS CUTE.
@ Anon#2: Because Mike/Lucy makes me sad. Originally, I liked all the BCB characters, but recently Lucy has been annoying me so I just put her there, lol. But I am totally okay with Mike ending up with Lucy. I just prefer Mike/Sandy
@Carmen: awwee yeah /highfives
I don't mind Sandy but I think that if she's guna be a character she should be in it more often.
Since when is Michael plus Sandy a crack pairing? ^_^
Still, this meme is quite wonderful.
Man ignore the butthurt MikexLucy shippers, at least you know you ship a pairing that is actually CANON
This was super cute and oh my at the MikexSandy on #5 oh my~
I approve of this art meme. Did you have to shower after drawing 5?
Basketcase and SJ LOL
Am I the only one who thought that No6 was a view of Mike and Sandy down the sights of a UMP?
Did you intentionally put the dead, uncaring look in Mike's eyes in #9? Fantastic work
Right, that's my mind made up. MikexSandy all the way....
But seriously, if you're going to draw Taeshi shooting Lucy, I expect you to give a better reason than "Sandy exists." It's not like better reasons are hard to find.
You dislike Lucy for what reason again? Also, Sandy is cute. And hardly-seen. She has potential...
Yeeeey another MikexSandy fan! =D It's so hard to find you guys e-e And OMG #5 is damn hot. Can it happen Taeshi? =D LOL
OMG I LOVE YOU!!! It's awesome to find another hardcore MikexSandy fan! It's like you read my mind and drew it! If I could draw I would totally make MikexSandy all the time. Unfortunately, all I can draw right now is dragons. If I could I would give you the biggest hug EVER! Us MikexSandy shippers must unite! MikexSandy FTW 4EVER!!!
Hey, why do you have Lucy? Just because she's kind of an egotistical bitch, talks down to Mike all the time, whines when is beaten at games profusely, probably can't cook, can't swim, probably can't bathe in anything above mid-bucket level water, pr...
-shuffles arms together-
I still love her though. Q_Q
Jokes aside it was pretty awesome. ^_^
Also, have was meant to be *hate in the first sentence. I just fail at Engrish.
I love this meme <3

There is also a set of music Tools at Utilties/Setup->Music Tools. Here you can rescan your music library, etc.
Using MythMusic
Because MythMusic has been designed to work with a remote control, people often struggle with it, especially when building and editing playlists. Once you become familiar with how it works, which does not take long, you will be amazed at how much more accessible and enjoyable it makes listening to your music collection.
Building your music collection from CD
Before you start to import a CD into MythMusic there are a few things you should check.
- Make sure that your system is not set up to mount the CD and begin playing it automatically. This is normally configured in your desktop environment ie KDE or Gnome.
- It helps to have your system connected to the Internet, so that MythMusic can locate the information about your CD.
- Set up how you want your CDs to be ripped. Goto Utilities/Setup->Setup->Media Settings->Music Settings->Ripper Settings
- Insert the CD before selecting "Import CD".
To import (rip) a CD goto Optical Disks ->Import CD
After a few seconds MythTV will query the Internet freedb database for your CD information and the Import CD screen will show, with the Artist, Album and tracks information.
Check that the Quality setting is what you need. The options are :-
- Low -Low bit rate, low quality, very small file sizes .ogg or .mp3
- Medium -Medium bit rate, medium quality .ogg or .mp3
- High -High bit rate, high quality .ogg or .mp3
- Perfect - Rips to Lossless FLAC file format. This is CD quality but compressed by about 50%
You can make changes to any of the items on the screen at this point before you finally select the "import this CD" button.
You now see the progress screen showing each track as it is ripped and transcoded, as well as the overall progress on the whole album. Once import has finished you can configure your CD to be ejected.
MythTV stores your ripped music on your hard drive in a structured manner. See the page on MythMusic File Organization. All your music files will also be tagged using the ID3 standard
Adding in an existing music collection
If you already have an existing music collection then you can have MythMusic Scan for this. Point MythMusic at the directory in which your music collection is by changing the location of your music library in Utilities/Setup->setup->Media Settings->Music Settings-General settings.
Then goto Utilities/Setup->setup-Music tools->Scan for New Music.
MythTV will then scan for music and add the information into the MythTV database.
aac files
If you have files that have been ripped to Apples aac format this should be no problem. Eitther copy these files into the MythMusic directory and then scan for new music, or mount your collection onto the systems file system and point your MythMusic directory to it as above.
Playing Music
There are three ways to select music to play
- Directly select an Artist,Album or track to play
- Add tracks to the Active Playlist and play the Active Playlist
- Create a new Playlist/Choose an existing Playlist
Before you start playing music it is highly recommended that you configure the MythMusic Player to show your entire music tree. This is probably the single biggest reason that people struggle with MythMusic GUI. You can set this in Utilities/Setup->Setup->Media Settings->Player Settings->show entire music tree
- The Play screen (set up to show entire music tree)
Direct music selection
You don't have to create a Playlist just to play an album or song.
With the "show entire music tree" configured, you will see your Playlist's to the left of the Play pane as per the picture above. More importantly you will also see a default Playlist called "All My Music". Once you select this Playlist you will see all your music organized alphabetically by Artist.
Use the Left and right arrow keys to switch between the Playlist pane and the Play pane. Use the up and down arrows to select your Playlist and the the right arrow key to select the Artist then right arrow again to select the Album then right arrow again to select Song etc. Press select to play at any point either the Artist, Album, or Song. Press the left arrow button to backtrack.
Play from the Active Play Queue
When you first start using MythMusic you will find two entries in the Playlist pane already defined.
- All My Music -Exactly that, use this to directly access any Artist, Album, Track from the Play pane.
- All My Playlists -Exactly that, with an initial playlist called the Active Play Queue
Active Play Queue
This is a temporary playlist that you can add and remove entire Albums or individual tracks to create a Playlist. Once this has your songs you want you can then save it to a named play list. Of course you can play the Active Play Queue just like any other playlist.
Add songs to the Active Play Queue
To add songs to the Active play Queue you need to enter the playlist management screen by pressing 3 from the "Play" screen or by selecting the "Select Music" option from the Music Tools menu.
The Playlist Management screen
In the above picture you can see the 4 items on the menu that you can select:-
1. All My Music -Add files from your collection to the Active Play Queue
2. The album you have in your CD drive -Select songs to play
3. All your play lists previously defined (empty to start)- Select which playlists to perform actions on
4. Your Active Play Queue -Select what actions to perform on you Active Play Queue
From the the Playlist management screen you can browse the entire collection from "All My Music". Add tracks to the current queue by pressing 'Select' to toggle the checkbox next to it's name. Entire Albums, Genres or Artists may be added in one go. If you don't have all the items in a sub menu selected it will show as a Grey tick.
Press the ESC key to go back to the Play screen
Create a Playlist
When you are happy with the selection you have chosen, go back to the top level menu in Playlist management screen and then scroll down to "Active Play Queue" and press the Menu/m key. Type in the playlist name and then select "Copy to New Playlist". (If you are using a remote for text entry, don't forget to enable your on screen keyboard)
When you return to the Play screen, you will see all your playlists
Edit an existing playlist.
From the playlist management screen, browse existing playlists from "All My Playlists". Highlight the playlist and press the I/Menu key. Select "Move to Active Play Queue" from the menu. You can now modify the "Active Play Queue" like normal, adding songs and playlists by selecting them from the song tree.
When you are done, highlight the "Active Play Queue" in the selection tree and press the I/Menu then select "Save Back to Playlist Tree".
- Rearrange the songs in a playlist. Highlight a song and hit the "space" bar, the song will now have pair of red arrows in front of it. Use the up and down arrow keys to move it around in the playlist. When you have it where you want it, hit the "space" bar again.
- Delete an item from a playlist. Highlight the item in the selection tree and hit the "d" key.
- Edit a text field without a keyboard. Press ENTER in the empty line edit control. A keyboard will pop up; you can use this keyboard to enter characters.
- Delete a playlist. Highlight the playlist in the selection tree and hit the I/Menu key then select "Delete this Playlist" from the popup.
There are currently a number of visualizations for MythMusic that will be displayed in a small window when while the playlist is visible, but will be displayed full-screen when you change the visualization mode with by pressing '6'. Which of these visualizations are to be used can be specified as a space-separated list in the Setup menu for MythMusic.
- Random - Switches to a different visualization for each song.
- MonoScope - Standard spectrum analyzer, as found on many MP3 players such as XMMS and WinAmp.
- StereoScope - Another spectrum analyzer. Left and right channels are drawn separately.
- BumpScope - Similar to Monoscope above, but drawn as a "raised relief" on a flat surface (3D visualization)
- Goom - The classic visualization of crazy lines and patterns.
- Synaesthesia - A more amorphous visualization similar to plasma clouds displays
- Spectrum -
- Squares -
- AlbumArt - This displays the album art for the currently playing music. Basically, any image in the same directory as the music file currently playing is treated as if it might be album art, and one is selected randomly for display.
- Gears - It's the GLXgears demo.
- Blank - Just a blank screen (not very exciting, but very CPU-efficient).
Missing Visualizations after upgrading from 0.19 to latest SVN? The visualizations are now selectable via the Setup menus and by default you won't have any selected. Navigate to Setup > Media Settings > Music Settings > Player Settings and on the third page you'll find the Edit Visualizations button where you can select which visualizations you'd like to show up as options.
Looking for more? If you're running 0.21 or higher you can use libvisual visualizations. An easy way to get some is to install the amarok-visualisation package which will add quite a few good ones to your Available Visualizations list.
You might find it helpful to see the page on ProjectM visualisations
Shuffle Modes
- None - plays songs in sequential order
- Rand - plays songs in random order
- Smart - plays songs in smart order. Smart order is calculated using following components, each component weight can be configured in MythMusic Player settings:
- Rating - songs with greater rating are played more
- Play Count - songs with smaller play count are player more
- Last Play - songs not heard recently are played more
- Random - random component
- Album - plays songs from the current album in random order
- Artist - plays songs from the current artist in random order
Useful keys to know
- some keyboard commands that might come in handy..
- Change Visualisation mode - 6
- Change Shuffle mode - 1
- Change Repeat mode - 2
- Edit Playlist menu - 3
- Blank Screen - 5
- Increase track rating - 9
- Decrease track rating - 7
- Refresh music tree - 8
- Filter all my music - f or m
- Show incremental search dialog - CTRL + S
- Incremental search find next match - CTRL + N
- Edit Track Information(mp3 tags) - i
- Pause/unPause - p
- Stop - o
- Next - z
- Mute - | (shift-\ also called "pipe")
- Volume Up - ] or F11
- Volume Down - [ or F10)
- > and < for next and previous track in a playlist. This is especially helpful if you use random track selection -- it will jump to the next (or previous) track in the random list.
- (note these are based on the default key mappings)
You may run into errors when running MythMusic.
When I run MythMusic and try and look up a CD, I get an error message
The full text of the message will say:
databasebox.o: Couldn't find your CD. It may not be in the freedb database. More likely, however, is that you need to delete /.cddb and /.cdserverrc and restart mythmusic. Have a nice day.
If you get this message, you should go to the home directory of whatever user MythMusic is running as and type:
rm .cdserverrc rm -rf .cddb/
These files aren't automatically deleted because of a conscious design decision by the author that programs that automatically delete things are bad.
The files are used to locally cache CD lookups. If you are re-inserting CDs, your machine will not actually have to go out to the Internet to determine what is on them. However, the URL used to access the freedb database has recently changed, so the stale information in the files from previous runs of MythMusic would cause the error above. Once the files have been deleted the stale information will be gone and your local database will be rebuilt as you use CDs.
The default cddb server in .cdserverrc doesn't seem to be working very well all the time, here's a list of servers you can add:
SERVER=cddbp://freedb.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://freedb.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://at.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://at.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://ca.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://ca.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://cz.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://cz.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://no.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://no.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://uk.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://uk.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB SERVER=cddbp://us.freedb.org:8880/ CDDB SERVER=http://us.freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi CDDB

Subject: Friend, protect yourself during patient interviews
Hello Friend,
In a recent published article, Dr Anderson et al. (at Wake Forest University School of Medicine & McMaster University) identified seven aspects that patients' complain about.
Two of which are the following:
Outstanding Communication Skills.
This category received the second largest volume of comments pertaining to excellence in health care. Patients distinguished 4 key areas of communication that defined high quality care, summarized as "personal attention" given by the provider.
Listening. Patients value providers who are excellent listeners, and who take patients concerns seriously. These qualities convey truly caring about the patient and giving attention to the patient's concerns and their family members. Many patients have had previous providers that they felt did not listen to them and could contrast the difference in care when listening was attentive:
"He truly listens and does not shrug off what you are feeling"
"Having problems for a long time, every other doctor I visited would say 'this is normal.' It was
not normal and Dr. <name> really listened to what I was saying…was very attentive and caring. I wish I would have found him years ago."
"He encourages patients as well as their family members to ask questions"
"She always seems to have time to listen and give me her full attention"
"He seems to really care about what I have to say."
Patient as partner. Another quality of excellence is when a doctor instills a sense of partnership with the patient by using attentive listening of patient concerns or values to adjust and individualize treatment, and encourages patients to openly discuss their concerns.
"He allows the patient to be an active participant in health care decision-making."
"A partner in your health"
"I really like having a voice in my recovery"
"You can open up to him"
Giving information. Much information, often technical in nature, is exchanged in a clinical care encounter and providers who do this well in a manner that the patient can understand, are highly praised by their patients as being approachable and easy to talk to. However, the method and delivery of the communication are also admired qualities. These include being soft spoken and direct, getting the providers honest opinion in a warm conversational style.
"Very easy to approach and communicate with"
"Excellent communicator"
"Plain spoken, straightforward in his approach."
"Isn't afraid to tell you what he thinks"
"He makes plenty of eye contact"
'Explains everything to me so that I can understand it"
Outstanding Medical Care.
Getting excellent medical care is high valued and consists of a complex of qualities, including patient advocacy, and technical competence such as diagnoses/ treatment approach and options, and thoroughness, amount of time spent with patient, and use of medications.
Technical Competence. Of all categories, comments on a doctor's excellence in competence were the most numerous type of praise offered by patients. This result underscores that patients attend an office visit or chosen a provider for a procedure or facet of health care management, and having a skilled practitioner is crucial. Competence is viewed or defined by patients includes facets of treatment approach and outcomes.
"Very knowledgeable of all the latest treatment."
"He is an excellent diagnostician"
"I can finally get up and feel like a real person again."
Thorough. Patients place high value on receiving careful attention from their physician, and not feeling rushed through their visit. By taking time, patients feel listened to and receive thorough care.
"He talks to you and does not give you the rush treatment"
"Even if his waiting room is at capacity, he takes his time with you and makes sure that you leave his office with a sense of satisfaction."
"He takes time and listens"
"Very thorough"
"She is extremely thorough and conscientious. She always takes her time."
OSCEhome came up in 2004 with a Systematic Approach that helps you master these two aspect specifically....
OSCEhome Systematic Approach
Patients visit doctors complaining of a symptom, not a disease. It is all about the differential diagnosis of symptoms and signs. This is the main focus of physicians during patients' interviews, right?
OSCE stations, as well as real life patients' interviews, have limited time. Physicians have no choice but to be focused and to organize the interview in a time efficient manner. On the other hand, physicians have to be vigilant not to miss anything!
Obviously, there is a need for some sort of an approach that will fulfil both patients and physicians goals. An approach that will explore all the patients' presenting issues in a limited time frame. An approach that will protect both the patients and physicians.
How did we at OSCEhome formulated the OSCEhome Systematic Approach ?
We started by preparing a list of all signs and symptoms a physician faces. We wrote one sign or symptom on a separate sheet of paper. Then for each symptom or sign we wrote all the possible differentials. Then, we draw a table, assigned a column for each differential and wrote that symptom/sign presentation details, quality, duration, relation to other symptoms/signs, and red flags.. Etc.. Then for every detail, we wrote questions to ask for or points to examine.
Obviously, there are now, many identical questions or points to examine concerning this symptom among all these differential diseases. We started to merge the diseases' columns into one set of questions. When the same question is required for several diseases, we placed these diseases' names between brackets after the question to help us later with the clinical decision making process. Then we arranged these questions and points to examine in a logical easy flowing flowchart.
We have noticed that there are some details that are not required if you are just screening for a symptom and not thoroughly gathering details about it. So, we divided the to ask/do list into two files, we placed the must ask/do important ones up in the list for screening, and the rest at the bottom for detailed data gathering sub-file, and just in case we run out of time.
What about communication skills? It a major issue to ensure an easygoing interview professional organized interview and to achieve a mutual understanding and respect. We rephrased the questions to meet communication skills guidelines. e.g. English language issues, open ended questions, non-leading questions, respective manner ..etc.
Now, we have all the needed questions to ask and points to examine concerning that symptom on a separate sheet of paper. We placed the sheet in a separate file, labelled it with the symptom/sign name. Then, we repeated the same process for all other signs and symptoms. Again, there are now, many identical questions or points to examine among all these symptom/signs.
We started to gather identical questions or points to examine into a separate file box and crossed it out on that symptom/ sign sheet. e.g questions about medications, past illnesses, social, ..etc.
Now, we have three sets of box files;
Chief complaint data gathering box file,
Specific symptom/sign box files, and
Standard questions box file.
Remember, in real practice, as well as during OSCE stations, our time is limited. So, we carefully went into each of these box files and rearranged the questions and points to examine for maximum time efficiency.
We came up with a tree of a step by step history taking and physical file boxes. During the patient interview, you go through the file boxes one by one. You only open the box files you need.
Let us take an example. A patient presented with cough.
Introductions box: 5 sentences to say.
Chief Complaint: 10 question to ask.
HPI: 15 questions to ask.
Respiratory question box: 10 questions to ask.
Standard questions box: 14 questions to ask.
Wrap up box: Sentences for 8 points to explain.
Most of the patients' answers will be "NO". How long then, will it take you to ask all these questions and wrap up the case?
FIVE minutes! And you have COVERED all the guidelines and checklists.
We created similar flowcharts for the physical examination, counselling, and ER stations that, with practice, will take you just 5 minutes to perform.
ONE flow chart of 7 steps with 23 history taking and 24 physical examinations boxes to choose one depending on the case !
Don't you agree, it is much more easier to memorize than 488+ checklists!
Rest assured that all the guidelines and checks in ANY checklist are fulfilled, including communication skills.
You won't forget anything to ask, do, or explain. No need to anxious and nervous.
You will be on a relaxed autopilot mode! Letting you focusing on the clinical decision process and communication skills.
The systematic approach took three of us a full year to finalize and eight years so far to tweak.
Don't you agree, it is worth a try? It is yours in just few minutes.
Protect yourself, save your time and effort and get your OSCEhome ebook package now at:
Have a nice day.

Google's latest contribution to the global movement that advocates teaching kids to code as the solution for every problem has discovered something revolutionary: if you put good content online, lots of people will read it and some of them may even engage with it.
The revelation comes from Google Research, which has run its eye over the numbers emerging from Harvard University's Creative Computing Online Workshop, a six-week massively online open course (MOOC) "for educators who want to learn more about using Scratch and supporting computational thinking in the classroom and other learning environments."
Google's now touting the course as a tremendous success because it "... had 2600 participants, who created more than 4700 Scratch projects, and engaged in 3500 forum discussions, compared to the 'in-person' class held last year, which reached only 50 educators.
Those expecting data from the in-person class to compare outcomes with the MOOC will be disappointed. Google Research doesn't offer a single supporting digit other than the attendee and project numbers mentioned above. It has also dug up a few other MOOC success stories suggesting those who participate in them quite enjoy the experience.
The findings are, however, a long way short of representing the "Unique Strategies for Scaling Teacher Professional Development" Google's blog post claims. For starters, no teacher is compelled to do this course, so there's no proof it can scale professional development unless teachers are keen to do it. Let's not forget, also, that online educational resources have been with us for years. MOOCs may offer a better experience than previous tools, but declaring one course's success is a harbinger of major change seems unwise. Google's account of the research also fails to offer any sentiment analysis, so we don't know if participants can't wait to do another MOOC or have run away screaming with mental scars so deep they'll never look at a computer again.
And of course let's not imagine that just because teachers learn Scratch they're ready to teach computational thinking to kids across several years of school, as will be required under Australia's nearly-complete Digital Technologies Curriculum.
That wave of cunning kids ready to code away the world's problems may not be as close as Google hopes, is it? ®

RIM Notifies of Critical BlackBerry OutageBy Reuters - Print
A major outage hit BlackBerry users in North America on Monday, cutting off wireless e-mail for everyone from busy executives to political campaign staff on the eve of three U.S. presidential primaries.
TORONTO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - A major outage hit BlackBerry users in North America on Monday, cutting off wireless e-mail for everyone from busy executives to political campaign staff on the eve of three U.S. presidential primaries.
The problem, which BlackBerry owner Research In Motion described as a "critical severity outage" affecting users in the Americas, once again raised concerns about the stability of the e-mail service 10 months after a widespread crash last April.
RIM said in a later statement that data services in the Americas experienced delays on late Monday afternoon, around 3.30pm Eastern time, but were restored in the early evening at around 6.30pm.
But by about 7:00 p.m. Eastern time some users said a few e-mails were trickling through while others continued to be without service.
Carmi Levy, senior vice-president of strategic consulting at AR Communications, said reliability is a serious concern for companies like RIM because if problems become routine, they can drive customers away.
"It's a big issue and it's a growing issue," Levy said, adding that huge outages could prove to be "a major Achilles' heel" for RIM.
RIM's U.S. shares fell as much as 1.3 percent on the news, after closing up 5.3 percent in regular Nasdaq trade. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, the shares finished the day C$4.73 higher at C$94.62.
RIM notified its clients of the outage in an e-mail, but officials at the Waterloo, Ontario-based company were not immediately available for comment.
"This is an emergency notification regarding the current BlackBerry Infrastructure outage," RIM support account manager Bryan Simpson said in an e-mail sent to large clients.
The last big outage in April 2007 provoked an angry backlash from more compulsive users, who have dubbed the device "CrackBerry" due to its drug-like addictiveness. At the time, co-Chief Executive Jim Balsillie said such incidents were "very rare" and RIM was taking steps to prevent it from happening again.
RIM's worldwide subscriber base reached about 12 million people by late last year, mainly executives, politicians, lawyers and other professionals who rely on the BlackBerry to send secure e-mails. Sleeker new models are also catching on with students and others outside professional circles.
Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, said, "While the outage did confirm our widespread addiction to BlackBerry service, fortunately it did not cause more than a temporary inconvenience."
Voters go to the polls on Tuesday in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, the latest battleground in a tight race between Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in November's election.
U.S. mobile phone service provider Verizon Wireless said the outage was affecting all carriers' BlackBerry e-mail service in North America. It said Verizon Wireless customers can still make calls on their BlackBerry.
Some appeared to enjoy a respite from the device.
"It made my life a little bit easier, since I didn't have to reply," Liberal Party spokesman Jean-Francois Del Torchio said from Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
"But when I arrived at my desktop and I saw all the e-mails I received, I was like, 'Oh, I still need to work'," Del Torchio told Reuters.

Fresh off the news of Freddy being cast in the "Nightmare on Elm St." remake, comes news that Kyle Gallner is now in talks to sign on as "Quentin the podcaster". Gallner recently gave an impressive turn in "The Haunting in Connecticut", a film where I would honestly say he outshined Virginia Madsen, an Oscar nominee. So, this casting news is good to me.
"Fanboys" director Kyle Newman to step in to direct "War Monkeys", after the original director Kevin Munroe had to bow out due to "scheduling conflicts". "War Monkeys" is about two janitors who get stuck in a government research facility over Christmas holiday who have accidentally released war-trained Rhesus monkeys. Wackiness and (presumably) carnage ensues.
Bill Zane as a crazy bald magician? Sure thing. While I'm on the subject, whatever happened to his sister? Remember "Freddy's Dead"? I wonder where she's at these days.
Apparently when Harold Raimis says that the entire original cast will return for "Ghostbusters 3", that includes Rick Moranis. That of course means they can only start shooting once his latest direct to video sequel for "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" wraps up... but I think he'll make the time.
The writer of the "IT" remake speaks, and claims the picture is being written for a "Hard R". Sounds pretty awesome to me, although I'm not sure my brain is prepared for R-Rated scary clown action.

Susie, brings backs lots of memories of us making them from scratch.

Your idea is so cute and love the basket. Hugs, PatReplyDelete

"You can see the techniques of the knit on this style; Bandage Dress one day we will videotape the process of how our pieces are made. Herve Leger sale They weave the base and then hand-apply everything else. And our fit is really key. Oktoberfest Dress These pieces are more like sweaters than anything else—they're not cut-and-sew, Herve Leger Dresses they're knits—and that's why they fit so well.

Bourbon & Rye: While Supplies LastOctober 11th, 2012
Booker's is one of the most unqiue bourbons on the market today. It is the only uncut, unfiltered bourbon out there.
Dad's Hat is artfully blended to show rounded hints of cinnamon, dried fruits, nuts and candied apple, a rye that shouldn't be fussed with in overly complicated cocktails. Just a little ice — and a taste for local liquor history — will do.
Rowan's Creek Bourbon, bottled by Kentucky Bourbon Distillers, is a 100.1 proof, 12 year old small batch bourbon. A fruity bourbon with vanilla and maple flavors.

Keri Russell, who will always be Felicity to you and your cat, has been confirmed to be taking the lead in Scott Stewart's new film "Dark Skies". The film is about a family who finds they're being terrorized by aliens every night and can't seem to find any help. Maybe the aliens are pissed because she straightened her hair. or cut it or something. Isn't that something people flipped out about back when the show was on? Am I the only one who remembers this? I can't be. Don't judge.
I don't know anyone who's excited about "Dredd", the updated version of the comic book tale we all know and love from the Sylvester Stallone flick, but that isn't stopping writer Alex Garland from making a trilogy out of his tale. That is if the first film makes enough money. It's a bold move, to make a sequel to a film if it does really well, I can't wait to see how this plays out.
I for one am very excited that script writer Dean Devlin is saying hat he's working on a sequel to the 1996 hit "Independence Day". I know I've gone on a few rants about this movie and honestly I don't know where I left off. Let's just go with Vivica A. Fox is really hot and leave it at that.
Philip Seymour Hoffman has officially joined the cast of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", the second chapter in the Hunger games trilogy. He'll play Plutarch Heavensbee, the game maker who appears in the 2nd and 3rd book. If you don't know what a game maker is then I don't really want to be your friend.
